Aug 03, 2015 — Liberty Cap is a cool-looking dome feature that sits atop a mesa above Grand Junction within Colorado National Monument. I took the standard Libery Cap Trail on the way up, a well-maintained NPS trail that winds up a series of benches to the mesatop above. Some serious construction was required to make this trail. The summit can be accessed via a short scramble using old metal rungs and carved footholds. I took the Corkscrew Trail on my way back to make the hike into a nice little loop.
